I just picked up two bottles at Wegmans! So far I haven't found a close recipe that matches up to the specs of the bottle? Does anyone have anything that is close? I see the recipe on page 20 comes out to 33 IBUs, but the bottle state that it's only 15.

If you send me a bottle of the ST pumking, I will sample it along side my clone attempt....

It should be out soon here, I will post once I do a heads up. I still have some 09/10/11 in the cellar also. May do a little vertical.

ya that was one expense i lucked out on, my gf happened to have a ton of beans laying around so after reading online how to make extract, it said soak 3-4 beans in a cup of booze for 4-6 months. so since i only had 2 weeks, i doubled the beans. so i put 8 beans chopped in quarters and split in a cup of rum. then put about 4-5 ounces of the liquid in the 5 gallon batch. and let 6 of the chopped beans in(so maybe 1.5-2 beans). along with a teaspoon of graham cracker extract and a tsp of pumpkin pie spice. pretty nervous that is too much vanilla, but hopefully the GC extract and pie spice balances it. i was originally going to let it sit for 2-3 weeks, but now i think ill bottle it after a week so it doesnt keep getting stronger

i would be wiling to maybe do a trade: pumking for clone (if you could throw in another brew from a local brewery that would be cool,cause pumking aint cheap) so we can both compare if that would work... I could throw in a few other beers as well - we have several breweries in jax.

I'm getting a case of Pumking today, and my clone is 3 weeks in bottles but still not quite ready. I'll probably give mine a couple more weeks then do a side by side and report back how it goes.
